The Cabinet of the Earths by Anne Nesbitt Check out my previous post for a review. Loved it.

What Alice Forgot by Lianne Moriarty. Oh my, what a great book. It's not the first book I've read about a woman hitting her head and losing ten years of her life, but it was amazing. A lovely, lovely book.

Confessions
of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella. I'd not read this series before (or seen the movie), but love Kinsella. This book didn't disappoint. It's not my absolute fave by her, but I truly enjoyed it. She is the master of putting her characters in situations that you see coming but the MC does not. It's such a beautiful way to build suspense.

You know, I should really check out Sophie Kinsella sometime. She's one of those authors that I hear about all the time and I've seen movie(s?) based on her book(s?). I think I'll check her out on Goodreads.

My book club read "What Alice Forgot" this winter and while you're right, it's not the most original book ever, it certainly generated a lot of discussion for us. We all wrote down what we would have lost if we had lost the ten years between 30 and 40 like she did and it's a little scary when you think about it. (I didn't like how she tied it all up in neat happy endings, though).
